Last time we were in Boston we missed eating here because Hurricane Sandy was coming thru. So pleased we made it this time. We had the best meal of our stay so far (DC and Boston). Great atmosphere upstairs, fantastic service and the food was perfect. Steak, chicken, fish and ravioli all devoured, and warm chocolate cake also disappeared very quickly. Highly recommended!
The Sunday Gravy over gnocchi is my favorite pasta dish downtown. I have not been in for it in a long while, regrettably.
Went for a birthday dinner for restaurant week in March. Therefore, we were on a fixed menu. Service was a bit low despite the restaurant being a bit empty but our server was great and energetic once he got to us.
The appetizers with the escargot and the beef were to die for. They appear to have gone for the cheaper items for the main menu. The duck dish was tasteless but the silver lining is the how accommodating the restaurant was. Upon mentioning the duck dish, they quickly offered to switch it out for another main course item of my preference. the salmon they brought in was very good. flavourful and crispy on one side. The Sunday gravy was quite good as well.
I made the mistake of ordering a cheese board with a chocolate truffle for dessert. Tasty, filling but a bit pricey
If you love oysters, clams and shrimps you are going to have an amazing happy hour there, because all of these stuff that I listed above would cost you only one dollar a peace. Our server was knowledgeable and pleasant and with a couple beers we had a great time.
Amazing. We came here around 9 pm on a Monday night. It wasn't crowded so we got a great table by two walls of windows, which was amazing given that the restaurant has seating three stories up that gives you great views of the surrounding neighborhood. We were fortunate in that they were offering dollar oysters for 9 to 10 pm. The drinks were clever and fantastic...and a lot of them were bourbon based so right up my alley. Between the three of us we had 30 oysters, the duck liver ravioli, lobster thermador, cassoulet, and the diver scallops with sweet potato ravioli. We also got the.shrimp cocktail which turned out to be one shrimp...which was confusing and the only really disappointing part of the meal, even though it was still a great tasting shrimp. And the fact that it was right around the corner from our hotel made it convenient and allowed us to walk off a little bit of the delicious meal. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Thought to be French, turned out to be American Italian. Food not bad. The olive oil for bread is good, but balsamic vinegar is not provided. Recommend Henry's soup and Wellington steak. Upper floor is good for dining, lower floor is more like a pub. Can reach the entrance from either side of the small lane.
Great pre theater place just off the path but close to everything. Great table with a view upstairs. Risotto was delicious - I enjoyed the Wellington but not the home run I was looking for as not enough pasty crust or pate for my taste. Great service too...

Went with my girlfriend for our four year anniversary. The restaurant had a "Happy Anniversary" card ready when we arrived to our table. They needn't to have done that, but they did so because they wanted to.
I ordered the Great Experiment cocktail, which was a delicious version of a limeade. I really needed something to quench my thirst, which it hit the spot.
The French onions soup ordered as an appetizer was okay as I was hoping the cheese would be all melted on top. The beef wellington was cooked medium rare to perfection, the pastry dough might have been seasoned with a little too much salt.
The lobster thermidore was delicious, I was hoping to find more gnocchi bits to help soak up more of the sauce, but was heavily complimented with more lobster bits.
Sunday gravy is a must when eating at Marliave as it had the perfect portion from the gnocchi, to the meats, and lastly the sauce.
Our chocolate cake was delicious served along with ice cream. I wish to have been served a little bit more ice cream to even out the chocolate cake, but that doesn't warrant it as a real complaint. Just being gluttonous.
Our server Kaley(?) was extremely pleasant and accommodating to our needs. She had even communicated with us for the apology of the slow start because the bartender was backed up, so she made our drinks. Would definitely recommend her to serve people.
Surprisingly good French restaurant! The escargot is good and cheese-y, the steaks are nice. Try the Wellington with super fresh puff pastry and foie gras. The gnocchi is also good with fluffy texture.
Very nice. Went for Restaurant week but have been quite a few times before. Food is always amazing. Service was a bit slow this time but I will chock that up to just being extra busy for the special week. Would return, the atmosphere, food & drinks all top notch.
Came for the dollar oysters. Oysters are Wellfleet, Dunstable and moonstone? Could use some more TLC before bringing them out. Had some shells and sand . The bourbon democrat was great, a bit diluted with the ice. Food was mushroom risotto, salmon dish and scampi. Portions are a decent size with Boston prices ($38 each). I'd recommend for the dollar oysters.
We came during restaurant week. I really wanted to try their famous Beef Wellington and it was delicious. A please surprise was also their roasted chicken that was probably my favorite dish.
